Six of us saw Twilight on Sunday night. It wasn't as bad as I'd hoped it would be. :( The characterization is still hilariously bad, but apparently the screenwriter edited some of the antifeminist attitudes out. That's probably a good thing, and this may be one of those rare times when the movie is better than the book. GLITTERY MONSTERS! How can that level of epic fail not be entertaining? 4SRS.

In the quest for self-knowledge, I have figured out that I have thoughts about things other people have feelings and beliefs about. Feelings for most people are very definite, almost binary. They must rarely take three or four feelings and experience them all together. In fact it's so rare that they have words like 'ambivalent' just to express that they feel more than one way, because apparently that's abnormal. Which I just figured out. :\

Tell me of your feelings, flist. How many do you generally have on x subject? In t amount of time will your feelings change by y amount? Let's graph this out so that I can get a handle on it. Screw XKCD, I will use math to figure this out.

I feel multiple feelings on subjects regularly, but almost always those about making choices. Simple choices like dinner or driving will give me a 1-3 emotions, but choices about relationships will usually give me 2-5 at once. Concepts and non-interactive events usually only generate one feeling at a time in me, although often more than one in sequence as I examine them. Feelings about relationship choices take several hours to change, while simpler choices take only a few minutes.

Thank you. That's quite helpful. As I think on it, that's pretty close to what I do, but categorized more clearly than I had been able to make it.

I've had a lot of time to watch myself. Glad that that could help someone else.
